In-Context Learning (ICL) has been shown to be a powerful technique to augment the capabilities of LLMs for a diverse range of tasks. This work proposes AutoParLLM, a novel way to generate context using guidance from graph neural networks (GNNs) to generate efficient parallel codes. We evaluate AutoParLLM on 12 applications from two well-known benchmark suites of parallel codes: NAS Parallel Benchmark and Rodinia Benchmark. Our results show that AutoParLLM improves the state-of-the-art LLMs (e.g., GPT-4) by 19.9% in NAS and 6.48% in Rodinia benchmark in terms of CodeBERTScore for the task of parallel code generation. Moreover, AutoParLLM improves the ability of the most powerful LLM to date, GPT-4, by achieving 17% (on NAS benchmark) and 16% (on Rodinia benchmark) better speedup. In addition, we propose OMPScore for evaluating the quality of the parallel code and show its effectiveness in evaluating parallel codes.

Foundation Models (FMs), such as LLaMA, BERT, GPT, ViT, and CLIP, have demonstrated remarkable success in a wide range of applications, driven by their ability to leverage vast amounts of data for pre-training. However, optimizing FMs often requires access to sensitive data, raising privacy concerns and limiting their applicability in many domains. In this paper, we propose the Federated Foundation Models (FFMs) paradigm, which combines the benefits of FMs and Federated Learning (FL) to enable privacy-preserving and collaborative learning across multiple end-users. We discuss the potential benefits and challenges of integrating FL into the lifespan of FMs, covering pre-training, fine-tuning, and application. We further outline potential future research avenues in FFM, including FFM pre-training, FFM fine-tuning, and federated prompt tuning, which allow the development of more personalized and context-aware models while ensuring data privacy. Moreover, we explore the possibility of continual/lifelong learning in FFMs, as increased computational power at the edge may unlock the potential for optimizing FMs using newly generated private data close to the data source. The proposed FFM concepts offer a flexible and scalable framework for training large language models in a privacy-preserving manner, setting the stage for subsequent advancements in both FM training and federated learning.
